The only award ceremony in the diaspora that caters to all musical genres is the African Muzik Magazine Awards (AFRIMMA). Those styles include Afrobeats, Assiko, Bongo, Decale, Funana, Genge, Highlife, Hiplife, Kwaito, Lingala and Soukous, but are not limited to them.

With such a diverse array of different genres in Africa's music industry, the AFRIMMA awards not only put together various artists from the region as a whole, but also introduce new music genres and stars to music fans across the African continent.

Last night in Dallas, the 2019 African Muzik Magazine Awards put together a good number of African musicians. Organizers and partners like Demand Africa made another big day for African talent for the day. Demand Africa has announced the 2019 AFRIMMA Committee.
